No employees? No problem.

A Waffle House restaurant in Birmingham, Ala., got some much-needed help last weekend when some customers filled in during a staffing mix-up.

Some miscommunication resulted in just one employee showing up for a Saturday night shift, so one patron grabbed an apron and started working behind the counter – and soon other customers joined in, AL.com reported.

“It was the most fascinating thing,” customer Ethan Crispo told the news outlet. “It was just one of the most wild instances of really, really cool people just coming together.”
